Katy Perry's new music video for her hit single 'Dark Horse' has offended Muslims as it shows the killing of man who is wearing a pendant which says Allah in Arabic.

In the video, the 'Roar' singer plays a powerful Egyptian queen who can zap her subjects with lightning and turn them into sand, Stuff.co.nz reported.

Now, members of the Muslim community are lobbying for the removal of the video, which has garnered 31 million views, from YouTube.

The petition, launched by Shazad Iqbal of the UK, said that the video is considered as highly controversial to its viewers as a result of its portrayal of blasphemy.
